HUNGARY - Ukraine attacked the Druzhba pipeline for the third time, halting oil deliveries to Slovakia and Hungary.
The European Commission has not reacted so far, but US President Donald Trump said he was very angry. The Hungarian and Slovakian Foreign Ministers have written to the European Commission calling for EU action to stop Ukraine's continuing attacks on the Druzba oil pipeline on Russian territory.
The latest attack hit the Unecha oil pumping station in Russia on Thursday night. This is the third such attack in a week, effectively halting Russian oil deliveries to Hungary and Slovakia, which are still importing large amounts of Russian oil.
"Given that in the past years, the EU and its Member States have provided hundreds of billions of Euros' worth of support to Ukraine, we find Ukraine's actions, which severely threaten the energy security of Hungary and Slovakia, completely irresponsible," read the letter, signed by Hungary's Péter Szijjártó, and Slovakia's Juraj Blanár.
Ukraine did not officially acknowledge striking the oil facilities. But Robert Brovdi, nicknamed Madyar (meaning Hungarian), who heads Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces, posted a video on his Telegram account, showing the aftermath of the latest bombing, with the burning oil station. He added a sentence in Hungarian calling on Russians to go home. (Euronews)
